^^^^^^^^X3 can be used @3.8ghz with a cooler, so ths where it outstrips X4 810 in Games.

Why X4 when E8400 is around? Sure its dual core but for games thts the best prosessor for value.

@gowtham, what happens when you take X3 720 beyond 4GHz??

@Alex,

1) 720 is black edition, which means that the unlocked multiplier will be very helpful for overclocking. Increase of one point in multiplier increases CPU clock by 200MHz, which means you have lot more to play with.

In the case where buyer is not interested in overclocking, X4 810 will have advantage.

they managed to take x4 810 to 3.4 ghz adn x3 720 to 3.7ghz..

yea.. the x3 720 is black edition and x4 810 is not.. but please have a look at those benchmarks..

and i know x3 720 will go much higher if u use a better cooler.. but for that price u could get a x4 940.. so i think x4 810 with its one core advantage is better in this case..

^^^^^^^^^Fo playing games(current games). there would be no difference between 720 and 810. In fact 720 will perform better because of its potential overclock.
however for multithreaded apps and games(like gta 4, worldin conflict) the 810 might perform better.
